Sierra Leone defender Alie Sesay says he was happy with the way they performed against Madura United in their last league win. 

Persebaya deservedly defeated Madura United 1-0 in a tough League One, BRI Liga 1 at the Maguwoharjo Stadium, Sleman on Saturday. 

Brazilian Jose Wilkson Teixeira Rocha only goal proved the difference between the two sides, with the Leone Stars defender playing the full throttle of the game.

The 27-year-old says the win was a professional team performance. Madura United was a good value for the victory. 

“We knew that it was going to be a difficult game, but our mentality and composure gave us the edge over them,” Sesay to FSL Sport.

“As a team, we played against a tough side, but we maintained our disciplined. It was a case of us riding the storm and protecting our lead for almost 40-minutes.”

Madura United coach Fabio Lefundes has said the match against Persebaya was not an easy match considering the opponents they faced were quite good opponents and had quality.

Since joining the team, Sesay has made nine appearances helping the team to six wins, two draws and a defeat.

Sesay, a former Leicester academy graduate, was named in the Indonesia top-tier Team of the Week after another superb performance.

Alhaji Kamara, who recently extended his stay with Danish Superliga side Randers, has continued to make the most of his time with two goals in their 4-1 thrashing of  Vejle BK on Saturday. 

At Cepheus Park, Kamara opens the scoring with his head for his side in the 37th minutes before Vejle BK Hallur Hansson restored parity just before the break.

Four minutes into the restart, the Sierra Leone International was at it again with his second header of the day as Randers took the lead for the second time.

A minute later, Jakob Ankersen scored Randers third in an entertaining Danish Superliga match in front of the home fans. 

Simon Piesinger completed the win with a superb freekick sending the fams into ecstasy. As a result, they have moved up to third, at least, until other matches are completed this weekend.

In the last six matches, Randers got three wins, two draws and one defeat on all fronts. At home, the team’s achievements are similar, in which the only defeat was against the top team Midtjylland.
